Finally a huge thank you to Christine Stiassni-Gerli whose dream it was to make a dance studio at the Carver Center in Port Chester, NY.. Also, thank you Heidi

Well done and congratulations everyone.

Just felt I had to include some thoughts from the speeches. How do I condense a few audio sound bites into a 4 minute recap?

Well, once i started the whole recap started to flow and the sound bites seem to work.

What a great day. I just love what I do.

Share The Harvest... Sept 2010../knowles media copyright 2010 from Knowles Video, Robert Knowles on Vimeo.





This is the third year that the Share The Harvest festival in Milford has been hosted by The Laurel Villa Country Inn. Thank you.

This year it almost didn't happen. An hour before, an emergency radio signal alerted us to a wicked storm passing through town. Had visions of food/tents and people being hurled around.

Somehow, just before the start, the sun came through, the clouds left and we were blessed with an amazing evening.

Thank you again to ALL those who participated, to those who won prizes and to those whore worked behind the scenes. To all the donors and food folks who were part of the event

It was great being part of it all.
Enjoy the show

It's aways great to get referral weddings. Janna's friend Deborah had asked me to video her wedding day last year She suggested that I shoot her friend, Jenna's wedding.

We probably had the best weather day of the year. Blue skies with a light breeze. An outdoor ceremony near the water, surrounded by family and friends.

Afterwards, the staff at the Inn at Longshore provided a wonderful reception. Great music and the party was on..

Thanks for inviting me. we came away with some wonderful footage..

Treacle Tart ..knowles media/dina bucholz copyright


Dina Bucholz is an avid Harry Potter fan. When the books came out, she read them to her kids. She became intrigued with the British food that was so much part of the plot.

So began her food quest. It took two years to find an agent, a publisher and in a couple of weeks her book will be released. The title.
"The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook", by Dina Bucholz, published by Adams Media

She is so proud.

How did Dina find me? I videotaped her sisters wedding a few years ago. The family liked my work.

This is Dina's first published work and it's awesome.

Congratulations Dina. It was fun.

This clip is a very brief version, put together to give the viewer a mouthwatering taste of treacle tart.. Enjoy.

Milford Music Festival 2010



Wow.. What a weekend.. the weather on saturday was spectacular. The town was packed.. You just had to park the car and walk and enjoy the music. As you went from venue to venue you could hear the different tunes...
84 West jammed them in at the old lumberayd courtyard and the rock band, White Light had passers by rocking to the tunes in the grounds of the Harrington House.
Sorry I didn't get to all the venues but this year the entire weekend was awesome.. many thanks to all those folks behind the scenes for all their work and to all the musicians. Robert Knowles Media, Milford/NYC

NYC VISIT..june 2010

New York City in June.. Wow..
This past weekend was my wife, Marianna's birthday. My sister and her husband were spending a few days in the city so we decided to overnight and have dinner with them.

My wife had worked at 30 Rock, when we lived in the city.

Times Square is now mainly filled with pedestrians , Its awesome for the visitor but awful if you are delivering packages.

So if you visit, check out the W hotel in Times Square, The Iroquois Hotelel on 44th.

Visit the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle, it used to be a garage when we lived in the city.

All in all a wonderful 2 days in NY with family.

MG DRIVERS CLUB... Cliff Park Inn, Milford, Pa

My first brand new car was an MG. Not only was it a new car but it was an MG. British racing greeen with a tan interior.


I remember the day I drove it away from the dealership in Surrey, UK. It was a sunny day and I took the top down, gingerly driving it for the first few miles, I headed to Richmond Park, a few miles away. It was awesome. Cost 2,750.00 Pounds... or about $4,500.0.


The following month I got a job with the Cunard line as one of their ships photographers. I kept the car garaged for the next 4 years. When I returned to the UK during my honeymon trip we were able to use the car for the month that we were in the UK. A few months later, I sold the car. It only had 5000 miles on the clock. So when 40 or so MG cars appeared at the Cliff PArk Inn in Milford, Pa, some 30 years later, I was on hand to take a few shots of the cars.
It was like stepping back in time and I spotted my car, no it wasn't mine but identical in color and model.

One of the cars was a 2003 model, an Mg TF series built in 2003. Shipped over by an owner, and for the next 4 weeks is being driven around the county and Canada. Nice job, Roger and drive carfeully.

MAGAZINE ARTICLES... now TRUE MULTIMEDIA..

We all really like to see our work in print and its even better when you have a complete story.. photographs and words.

So when The Milford Journal published our most recent story (my wife edited it) on our trip to Florida, I thought it would be really cool to feature a small slide show on my previous published work.

American Way... Lords of the Clans.. to Wooden Boat (which featured a Cover Story on The RiverKeeper) ...

Putting the Park back into Park Avenue... NY corporate atriums and how they replenish the senses amid miles of concrete was another one of my favourites.

So enjoy the slide show.. Something a little different.

To those of you who think that video is not necessary, think of this.

Last September, I was part of a wonderful family's wedding. Yesterday, I received an email from the bride telling me that her father had just passed away.

Who's Who In Pike County - Robert Knowles

I don't know about you but I have the toughest time staying organized when it comes to family photos and videos. It takes me forever to get the video off of the DVD camera and onto a DVD we can watch on TV and all of my pictures are still sitting in the packaging from where I had them developed. I was referred to Robert Knowles of Knowles Multimedia in Milford about one year ago. He transferred the first 1.5 years of my daughter's life from the camera to the DVD. Now I don't live in fear that if my video camera breaks or goes missing so does all of our memories. It was a pleasure working with Robert and I was very happy with the finished product. Because of that I wanted to feature him in a Who's Who so you too can get an up close look at the services he offers.


PikeMoms.com: What types of services does Knowles Multimedia offer that local Moms would be interested in?

Robert: Animated family photo montages; VHS, old films, photograhs and slides transferred to DVD; videos of family functions; family life stories

PikeMoms.com: What is your favorite thing about what you do?

Robert: Using new technology allows me to create memories for all occasions. I love what I do. It’s what we do full time and have been in this media for many years. Keeping your memories alive is precious. Our Mac computers make it so exciting. I invite all to visit us in Milford and take a tour of our studio.

PikeMoms.com: Why should parents in Pike County choose Knowles Multimedia?

Robert: We are in Milford. Our work is done in-house and we provide quality products in a timely fashion. Encourage all new clients to visit us. We love to show what we do. It's still fun for me and to help families keep their memories is just priceless

PikeMoms.com: What do your clients say about the work that you do?

Robert: Here are some of our clients praises:

"Robert, thank you for the video collage of pictures you took during the 50+ Club Halloween party. The arrangement of the pictures and the music in this video are fantastic. All our friends who saw it were just amazed. You are truly an artist!” Laura and Tony Licchi

"Dear Robert, when I first brought all of my family's "memories" stored on different mediums, such as old time "reel tapes", old video cassettes and scattered photos.....my hope was that you would be able to consolidate and preserve the snippets of our life on DVD.....what you created for us is a priceless treasure of our family; a movie with a beginning, a story all set to music......your magic has allowed us to share our life with so many of our family in Italy and here in the states....we are so humbled by your talent and so grateful to you for the gift you have given us.....Mille grazie!!!!” Venera Spadaro

"Robert, This is a priceless gift. Words can’t express how beautifully you captured our wedding. It was such a pleasure to have you film our wedding and we can’t thank you enough for the memories you captured.” Elana & James

PikeMoms.com: What is your favorite thing about living in Pike County?

Robert: Pike county is rural yet quite close to NYC. Families and friends can leave their photos/ projects with us knowing that with our expertise and care, we'll provide a quality product. We are also in Milford.

PikeMoms.com: Any specials or discounts you would like to offer to visitors of PikeMoms.com? (if not we will not include this question)

Robert: $5 discount on any order of $50 or more. Thank you for inviting me to be part of Who's Who. As a small business, I pride myself on providing quality service to all my clients. So stop by. We are in the old lumberyard stores, on Seventh Street. Please just call prior. My cell is 914-216-1463 or you can call us toll free at 1-800-777-8711. You can also e-mail at Rmknowles@mac.com .

Charleston-Barbados Connection.. My Odyssey.

Who in their right minds would drive to Florida and back in the middle of winter. We did and we missed BOTH storms. We had made the day trips to Boston/Philadelphia and Washington, but never the Big one.

Friends had invited us to visit in Jupiter, so we decided to drive. We made the journey south a 5 day jaunt with stops in Colonial Williamsburg, Charleston,S.C., Saint Augustine and Miami.

As we headed south the first storm headed East.

Colonial Williamsburg, fascinating place.. Charleston, SC. A wonderful town filled with old world charm.

Charleston..A little personal history. Ever since arriving on these shores, 30 years ago this month, Charleston has always been a place that I needed to visit. I am 4th generation Barbadian. My ancestors left England/Ireland in the 17th Century for Barbados. Some of those families, Drayton, Gibbes, Knowles Manning, Bonnett, later left Barbados for Charles Towne, as it was called then.
(Steve Bonnett would later become a famous pirate and the Pearl would not be just a ship in a movie but was an actual British Frigate used to capture Blackbeard!) These family names are still in existence today both in Charleston and Barbados.

South Beach, Miami... We arrived on superbowl thursday and it was alot of fun to people watch.

Why the car? We are 3rd time repeat VW passatt owners. I thought it might be fun to show the car in various locales for vw and to write about the how great a car it is drive to long distances.

On our return, we had a a 48hr window. We drove back back with one overnight. We arrived back on monday, the storm hit wednesday night. A wonderful trip.. We drove 3100 miles and used 102 gallons of gas.

Enjoy the movie

And I Quote.. The Sequel...


It was during her sophmore year in college that our daughter Kate was given her own column in the college paper.

Recently she has taken up her blog and her latest project is cute...
Blogging about a new word every day..

Since she can't cook, her phrase, not mine, and since the written word has always been her friend, here is a brief look at her blog.

Also she has a great eye for pictures

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN HOST TO MANY OF MY PIECES WITHIN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. TODAY, THOUGH, I AM INCORPORATING A NEW FACET OF MY WRITING EXPERIENCE. EVERY DAY FOR A YEAR I WILL BE WRITING A PIECE CENTERED AROUND A SPECIFIC WORD FROM MY 365 WORD A DAY CALENDAR. AND YES, THIS MAY SOUND SIMILAR TO JULIE/JULIA, BUT AS I CANNOT COOK AND WRITING IS MY PASSION, I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE THE NEXT BEST MOVE...DON'T WORRY MORE BOOK REVIEWS TO COME!

CONFABULATE
January 10th, 2010

Confabulate
\ken-‘fa-bye-‘lat\ v 1.: to talk informally : chat *2: to hold a discussion : confer 3: to fill in gaps in memory by fabrication *

During college, if you were to ask any student if they have had a favorite or even just memorable professor, it’s safe to say that almost all of them will say yes and then launch into a lecture about what it was that made him or her in such awe of this glorified educator. My senior year of college, I was privy to one such professor that without a doubt made our class chuckle at one point or another during the course of the class.
One of the first days of the semester, after the syllabus had been handed out and reviewed (enough to make anyone sorry they could read), my professor broached the subject of papers and the proper etiquette in which they should be handed to her. She specified that all papers should be stapled and not paper-clipped because paper-clips were “horny little bastards,” and like to get stuck together and it was a pain in the ass to undo them. The whole class began to giggle after looking at one another just to make sure we had heard her correctly. “Horny Little Bastards”? Did I mention she had prefaced this by saying that this could in fact be used as useless cocktail party trivia. Imagine confabulating about that!

SEASONS GREETINGS.. 2010


Twenty Ten.. what a great ring to the number.

In my travels, and I don't advocate this way of shooting... my iphone camera is perfect to capture quick scenics from the the driver's side!!!

This was taken a week ago, dont know what shutter speed, it's slow but a few tweaks in post and we came up with this. taken along the 1-84 corridor just after the Milford exit, travelling westbound.

Enjoy... Happy TWENTY TEN

Meghan & Ozgur...12.19.2009

A wedding at a Castle in New York, so many family and friends from near and far, from Turkey, New York and Virginia and places in between.

From the clip, everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you for inviting us to be part of the day.

As an added bonus, mother nature gave us some snow!

Enjoy

A Humorous Slice of Life... by Marianna Knowles


Wow..... She finally did it.... They say that there's a book in each of us... Well it took awhile for the idea to make it to print.. We also needed a few years, nearly 29 years of being married for all our stories to happen!!

Congratulations, Marianna, you did it!

So proud of you.
